Hi everyone! Sorry for the late post today. This drawing took me way longer than I thought. It took me 4 hours to draw this illustration. I wonder why it took me so long. lol.. anyways... This week's topic is Immovable. I would also like to name this illustration Tangled by hearts(in a good way... lol). I will consider making this into digital stamp... what do you think? =)

Good morning everyday! Today I'm showing my down card! I really love this card because its so colorful, it makes me happy when I look at it =) I used the honey jar image from the Costume Set. I finally bought a white pen, I always wanted to but for some reason I kept forgetting about it when I was at the crafts store?? I love stitches! So, YAY I can finally add white stitches and highlight to the images! =)

Good day everyone! Summer is almost over and it's back to school time!! Honestly I didn't realize summer is ending soon because the weather just started to get hot!! What a short summer! So I noticed it's September soon because Jane has made this project. She told me she has made this note pad for a kindergarten teacher!! This is such a lovely gift! I would be so happy if I get to receive a cute gift like this one. I will probably start drawing on it right away! =)

Lorraine has made 2 cards for us this week! They are very similar in layout but each has different feel to it. Love the colors a lot! Specially Little Bear, I love the purple. Thank you for the sweet card Lorraine =)

I woke up this morning to check out the IF new topic.. and I went on my mac to start drawing right away. This week's topic is Atmosphere. At first I planned to draw Little Bear in the forest wondering around, but that will look too much like Alice in Wonderland doesn't it? lol.... When I started drawing in the bushes, I thought it will actually look amazing if the bushes turns into colorful clouds!! I also turned the trees into clouds. Cloud high up and below! Today is a sunny day so I added a big round sun too. It is a happy atmosphere =)

Happy Friday everyone! Super sunny day today and I've been drawing since I woke up! Happy day - colorful day! Take a look at Audrey and Kerry's colorful cards and I'm sure they will add some extra smile on your face! =)

I know about Illustration Friday for quite a long time already. I joined their group on Flickr and love seeing how everyone is inspired by their weekly topic. This week's topic is "Star Gazing"... I had an urge to draw my first Illustration Friday project after I saw the topic. Last week I was talking to a good friend of mine about how I wish there's a forest just like the one in Avatar with glow in the dark plants... and there will be fireflies all over the sky with millions of stars shining at me... So this is what I came up with...

Hi Everyone!! It's stamp release day again!! It's nearly the end of Aug, so I think it's right about time to make some stamps for Halloween. I've decided to make some costume for Jordy and Candace. I've thought of making vampire and witch costume, but I've decided to make something that can also be used during the year. So finally I've designed some cute insect and fruit costumes for them:

Here's my first card. I've made a halloween card with the Bee costume stamp. Obviously my card is inspired by the bee's black and yellow strips.. hehe

Now don't forget about the PWCO ULTIMATE SUMMER CHALLENGE!! CCM is proudly sponsoring this huge event! You may play their challenges with a Freddie Stamp for FREE! Of course there will be lots of irresistible prizes for you to win!

Yenni has made a project with today's PWCO challenge! Isn't that the cutest card? Look at the Freddie Pattern bandages!! I love them!!

Looks like Little Bear is getting quite popular, so I've made a card with Little Bear's Specially for you stamp. I wanted to make it with more layers and a little bit of dimension. So I've decided to add a thick strip across the card with ribbon wrapped around it. Here are a few photos of my work process:

Hello everybody! I'm finally back to blogging! As you can see Chi Chi Memories has been going through a HUGE renovation!! We have new shop, new blog, new challenge blog! The reason of all these changes is because of the new shop that I've put up. I wanted to make a shop that is more convenient for customers. Unfortunately putting up a pretty shop has caused a lot of minor problems. I had problem with my old blog's linking and that's why I haven't been able to doing any blogging for the past week. It was a pain to find a solution so finally I've decided to move the blog to Blogger! I actually have always wanted to move the blog to Blogger since most of the crafters are using Bloggers or Wordpress. This way we are easier to interact! I hope everyone will enjoy my new blog!

I've also FINALLY fixed the uploading problem I've had with the new online shop. I wasn't able to upload the digital stamps, but they are working fine now! Now you can download the digis right after your purchase! I'm so happy that everything seems to be getting together =) Here's a screenshot of my shop!! TA-DA!!! http://www.chichimemories.com

Let's not spend too much time talking! We've miss out a lot last week! My DT has been making beautiful cards and I really appreciate their time and effort they've put on the CCM projects. Let's take a look:

Designer: KerryStamp Used: Always by your sidesuper cute sympathy gift. I would love to receive one when I'm in a down mood. =p

Welcome to Chi Chi Memories

Something about CCM

Natalie Tong (designer) found Chi Chi Memories (CCM) in 2010 with a dream in heart to share her cute designs to all the crafty people out there! Due to various reasons along the way, Natalie had to take a short break from her designs, but has now ever so energetically is back to pursue her dreams. Natalie has invitied Cassandra Wan (partner) to join the team as of 2013, and together, their two main goals for CCM is to:

1: Continue delivering cute digital images that will make you go “awwwww” when you see them at first sight =)

2: Inspire all the crafters out there to make an awesome asset to their projects with CCM stamps.

1. Images can be scaled to desired size to fit perfectly to your project!

2. Multiple digis can be combined together on your computer and printed out as a whole image (that’s almost like creating your own stamp!) Be creative!

3. Easy storage – Of course, it only takes up a few kilobytes of your computer instead of your crafting shelf!

4. “Fast delivery” – No waiting, no delay. You get your digis right away and you can craft right away! Yay!

5. A reasonable price of a whole set of stamps!

6. No Rubber, no silicon, no wood, no nothing! Yup, the making of the digis do not require any those materials. Go green!
